Unearth the floral treasures of Western Australia’s Great Southern Region on this unforgettable spring escape. Spend two nights in the historic port town of Albany, cruise the tranquil Kalgan River, and venture into the wild, rugged beauty of the Stirling Ranges with a local wildflower guide.

This is a trip bursting with colour, nature, and discovery – the perfect springtime getaway.
